Coronavirus - Doc Esser clears up is a podcast by Westdeutscher Rundfunk on the subject of SARS-CoV-2 and the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany , which has been broadcast since March 2, 2020. The episodes are usually about 20 minutes long.
content
The lung specialist Heinz-Wilhelm Esser answers questions about the subject of "Coronavirus". The podcast is designed to help you behave properly. It deals not only with the core broadcasting area of the WDR, but mainly with general topics.
background
On February 26, 2020, the NDR started the podcast “ Coronavirus Update ” with the head of virology at the Berlin Charité , Christian Drosten .
Heinz-Wilhelm Esser - called "Heiwi" - is senior physician for internal medicine and head of pulmonology at the Remscheid Clinic. WDR has been producing the information program Doc Esser - The Health Check and its spin-offs with Esser since 2016 . In contrast to the podcasts “Coronavirus Update” by the NDR and “ Kekulé's Corona Compass ” by the MDR, which shed light on the subject from a scientific point of view, this podcast presents the subject from the practitioner's point of view. The podcast is not located in the science department, but in the consumer department of the WDR. The podcast will be moderated by business and consumer editor Anne Schneider. Esser does not provide political advice.
distribution
The podcast is available in the WDR media library as well as via Apple Podcasts and Google Podcast, some episodes also on YouTube. In the podcasts for Apple platforms in Germany from March 13 to 18, 2020, it was in second place behind the NDR podcast “Coronavirus Update”.
reception
Titanic magazine compared three podcasts on the topic and judged: "Nice beginners podcast on the topic."
“In contrast to his direct competitors Drosten and Kekulé, Esser is apparently not active in an advisory capacity for the federal government or North Rhine-Westphalia. But also means legroom in terms of content, in the podcast itself there is actually always a good atmosphere. Interprets the medical expert along the interface between specialist and Rhenish young with the heart in the right place ("Have to see that we get the thing up!"). "
Cosmopolitan magazine lists him as one of the three best podcasts on the subject of "Coronavirus". Esser provides "a completely different perspective on the facts."
The Bavarian State Center for Political Education recommends the podcast as a "reliable source".
